The Tanakh (תַּנַ"ךְ‎) is a name used in Judaism for the Hebrew Bible.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanakh

A canonical text is a single authoritative edition for a given work.

The Septuagint (LXX) is the Koine Greek version of the Hebrew Bible, translated in stages between the 3rd and 1st centuries BCE in Alexandria. It was begun by the third century BCE and completed before 132 BCE.

The biblical apocrypha (from the Greek word ἀπόκρυφος meaning hidden) are books published in an edition of the Bible whose canonicity the publisher either rejects or doubts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_apocrypha

The word pseudepigrapha, meaning "books with false titles," refers to books similar in type to those of the Bible whose authors gave them the names of persons of a much earlier period in order to enhance their authority. Among the best known are 3 and 4 Esdras and the Prayer of Manasses, which are included in the Apocrypha.

The Dead Sea scrolls comprise about 900 documents, including texts from the Hebrew Bible, discovered (1947-56) in caves near the Qumran Wadi on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. The manuscripts mostly date between 150 BCE and 70 CE.

Love this series! I don't have internet at home, and now I don't want to leave work, because I want to hear the next part! That hasn't happened in a while. Again, thank you for the upload!

How do you know they weren't of the same status of the 24 books? Wasn't the 24 canon only established later?
